Taco Trucks For Sale – After a year stuck in laziness, the Rochester food truck stomped on the gas. Six new food trucks arrived on the road over the past few months, offering creative new approaches such as tacos, gourmet toast, fried chicken, large empanadas, and frozen snacks.

At the national level, food trucks are businesses worth $ 960 million and are projected to reach $ 1.1 billion by 2022, according to a report by IBISWorld. But growth in the food truck industry slowed – 7.3 percent in 2012 to 2017 and is now estimated at 3 percent until 2022 – due to increased competition, low profit margins and city regulations, according to researchers.

From boom to bust

The scene of Rochester food trucks continues to increase in 2016, when at least 10 new food trucks are launched. About half are still strong: Sweet Sammie Jane, Meat the Press, Roll’n Deep, Jeremiah’s Tavern, and Whole-E Roasters.

But that scene seems to be stuck in 2017.

Tom Wahl launched a great, great food truck, but at the end of the season several trucks disappeared from locations, including Hot Rosita’s, Empire Bar and Grill, Smokin Midnight BBQ and Hogan’s Hideaway, and old Papa Gig trucks.

Chris Seeman, one of Hot Rosita’s truck owners, said Tex-Mex trucks weren’t profitable enough for the number of hours – especially late at night – needed.

“It is a difficult and difficult industry for a few returns,” Seeman said in 2017. “I feel the market is too saturated.”

The Glen Edith truck, which serves the Boxcar and Glen Edith coffee donuts, goes to major festivals and private events, but owner John Ebel found that the food truck business was slower than expected. As a result, it does not represent the main part of the business. “We will not make it everyday on a street corner,” he said.

Another factor in 2017 is probably a business problem that is well documented by M Design Vehicle, the largest food truck maker in the city. Two food truck builders – Four Customs Horses in Rochester and OutFront Food Trucks in Buffalo – are now the builders of choice for the latest food truck fleets.

Every newcomer to the world of food-truck has a different road map to success.

Bay Vista Taqueria

Since he opened the Penfield restaurant in 2016, Dave Jackson was encouraged to launch a complementary food truck. He was alert, he said, because the market seemed saturated. Finally, he was convinced to move forward by Chuck Andrews, owner of the Macarollin food truck.

Vista Bay Taqueria Truck serves the best sellers from restaurants: three types of tacos and nacho bowls. Tacos, served with soft corn tortillas, are based on seasoned beef, chicken or fried fish proteins. As in restaurants, the approach is simple food, fresh ingredients and good presentation.

“Part of the job is finding out what’s working, what’s not, what’s worth it,” Jackson said. During the past three months, he focused on food truck rodeo, fundraising, and private parties.

The first time trying a seller on the road was at the Fourth of July fireworks in Sodus, Wayne County. Sales initially are slower than expected; he and his staff must remain good after the fireworks show is finished to sell enough products to make this effort useful.

“It is a learning experience,” he said. “We will probably stick to the rodeo.”

The first few weeks on the road were quite positive so he was already looking for a second truck. There must be room in the market, “he said.

Big Al Empanada

Alberto Hernandez had planned to launch a food truck four years ago, but because the city’s food truck law was not established, he decided to open a stone-and-mortar location at Packett’s Landing at Fairport.

But while the empanadas were selling well at the store, “it’s not comparable to what we make at the festival every day,” he said. “Every time we do a festival, we can’t make enough of these things.”

Last year, Hernandez closed the Fairport restaurant and returned to its original plan. Short food truck menus: three types of empanadas – usually beef, chicken and vegetables – along with several sides, including rice and beans.

Since he launched the truck a few weeks ago, Big Al’s Empanadas has visited several events and lunch times at the office. The truck serves at the Irondequoit Farmers Market from 4 to 8 pm. every Thursday.

“That’s all I think about and more, but this is twice as much work,” he said. You can make a lot of money with a truck, but “you have to work very hard for that.”

He noted that making empanadas by hand is a time-intensive process and trucks only sell as much as their refrigerators keep.

“I sell quite a lot wherever I go,” he said. “I sometimes can’t make these things enough.” As a result, he owns one of several trucks that are not on social media. The online presence is only the website, bigalsempanadas.com.

In the future, he hopes to serve local businesses, birthday parties, weddings, graduation parties and so on. He will send to the office with a minimum order.

“We only think it’s good and slow,” Hernandez said.

Yummies

Yummies is basically a steroid ice cream truck. It serves frozen yogurt, ice cream, smoothies, milkshakes and coffee – John Collins choices for sale at his shop at 80 N. Main St. at Fairport. Collins bought the store in 2017, and saw the truck as a potential answer to stagnant sales.

“I’m only looking for a different income stream,” he said. The customer asks the truck to go to events such as birthday parties and graduation parties.

“This works well,” he said. “(The schedule) has been jammed. I have to change people. ”

Because he didn’t want to be overwhelmed in his first year, he limited himself to only 100 people or less. He has attended several small rodeo food trucks, but not larger ones like the Rochester Public Market.

“I will be wild next year, maybe,” he said.

Most of his requests were for graduation and birthday parties, and he served at his wedding for the first time this week.

“I think there is a lot of demand for this type of truck,” Collins said.

Marty Birdland

Marty’s Meats is one of the first wave of food trucks in the area, and since opening in 2012, the business has “changed a lot,” said owner Marty O’Sullivan. Food trucks are now very well received so they are what many people want. to serve events such as graduation parties, training dinners and weddings.

Catering work has become around 70 percent of O’Sullivan’s business, so last year he found he had to reject many catering opportunities. Instead of launching the second Marty’s Meats food truck, he has launched a new concept called Marty’s Birdland.

The truck was inspired by various “Birdland” – Snuffy, Smitty’s, Sal’s and so on – he visited while growing up in the Rochester area. Trucks pay tribute to these institutions while upgrading ingredients and placing a little spin on fried chicken dishes.

Marty Birdland food trucks are a hit at the Lilac Festival and Jazz Festival, and will hold festivals at Park Ave Summer Art Festival on August 4 and 5. While trucks have visited downtown for some lunch time, “street vendor items are very challenging. ”

Both trucks are prepared to handle menus from both concepts – Marty’s Meats barbecue menu and Marty’s Birdland fried chicken – to give customers the choice of dishes they like.

“I can’t be happier with a second truck,” he said.

Rustic Taco Bar

A veteran of the restaurant business since the age of 15, Carrie O’Rourke was inspired to start a truck so she could be at home at night with her 3 and 7 year old daughters. He was driven by the response he had in the first few weeks of the operation.

The Rustic Taco Bar serves internationally inspired tacos, most of which are filled with alcoholic drinks. Among the creations of the self-taught cook: apple cider, hard pork taco, “tino wino” vegetarian, chicken margarita taco, cod taco that is already outdated and whiskey rib tacos. One exception to drunken rules is the initial customer favorite who is likely to maintain a permanent place on the menu: sweet and spicy taco shrimp.

During his first year on the road, he focused on lunch and festivals; he was the only new truck to pay more than the $ 1,000 needed for downtown. The truck will be at the Corn Hill Arts Festival, which takes place July 14 and 15. He also plans to be in the next food truck rodeo on July 25 at Rochester Public Market.

East Coast Toast Truck

East Coast Toast Truck debuted at the Rochester Lilac Festival in May. The truck is planning to be present at the regional food truck rodeo and is considering traveling around the city center.

The toast is made from thick slices of bread from Amazing Grains Bread Co. at Fairport, and the serving menu often changes. Some have simple jewelry, while others have a better gourmet touch. Of course, there is always a different view of trendy avocado bread.

The owners of the new toast trucks are Webster residents Nick, Kristina, Amber and Anthony Imburgia. Nick and Anthony are brothers, and Kristina and Amber are their wives. While they are all new to the food service world, they have experience with entrepreneurial businesses; Nick and Anthony Imburgia also have Profeta Painting at Webster.
